@ the wombat hole

GD & HW, It's a solar kettle, boils 3 cups of water in less than 30 mins, well that's what it says on the box, testing it tomorrow

Guess it would take a bit longer at night....

Wouldn't be anygood in the burrow Wombat...

I'm afraid I would want my cuppa quicker than 30 minutes.

 LOL  marj i was thinking the same thing  ..i am sure u just get over the  need  if  you had to wait 30 minutes .....

Me too.  Little gas stove takes a lot less than that to boil a whole kettle.

I guess you could lay it on the Dashboard to heat up while you're travelling. That way you would save time as well.

Cheers,

Sheba.

gubby, tried it last night and it still has not boiled this morning, cos it's still dark outside my hole, you are correct, does not work at night, and Mrs G said you were smart
--------------------------------------------------------------------

HW, I just get up 30 minutes before I normally do
------------------------------------------------------------------

gubby, we do not have elecrtic power in our burrow and gas is not an option in a confined space, so the solar kettle is the next best option, I've been looking forward to a hot cuppa for a few years now.

pauline, I might have coffee
----------------------------------------------------------

Elle on Wheels, I don't know what you mean
----------------------------------------------------------------

lilly31, just put it out in the sun 30 minuites before you think you need a cuppa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheba, yes the gas would be quicker BUT I think you are all missing the point, free hot water and great to sit there and watch it boil while having a snooze, don't think I'll use it on the dashboard as it will end up with boiling water inside.

Didn't miss the point Wombat.  It'd be great to use when you're stopped for some time.

Isn't the water contained in something ?  If it was, you could just put it straight into a thermos as soon as it was boiled, while travelling.

And I wouldn't expect you to do it while driving.  Either your passenger could, or you could stop for a couple of minutes and do it before taking off again, if you're solo. 

Cheers,

Sheba.

Looks more like something you keep in your top drawer..

This one use's no power, test completed, 1st try took about 37 minutes, second boil up 24 minutes

Well, let's face it, Wombats have all day, so he just has to leave it outside his hole, have an afternoon nap and when he comes out the waters ready for a cuppa........ Wombat style !

 That's exactly what I did today, have you been hanging about round my hole?

I suppose you could put soup in there and have a hot lunch!

Good idea AJ.

Cheers,

Sheba.

one for every day

and while your heating the water you can power up your hole.with solar lights

Father Ted, I'm not sure what you mean

Vic, I would have thought you would have stolen the hole and filled in the tea maker

Sheba, soup is a good idea.

Smokeydk, there is one missing for a whole week (only 6 there) and the light will not work down my hole.
